Qi Yuye's eyes were cold; he naturally knew this was Song Ci's scheme to sow discord.

He couldn't help but think about Song Ci's next plan, while at the same time he felt a little worried about Nan Shu.

His gaze returned to the Grand Hyatt Hotel not far away.

After leaving Song Ci's room, Nan Shu quickly went to the lobby. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a series of hurried footsteps behind her.

Nan Shu was already on edge, and upon hearing this voice, she immediately turned in another direction.

There was a restroom sign not far away. Nan Shu hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked towards the restroom.

Fortunately, the footsteps disappeared after she went to the bathroom.

Nan Shu stayed in the bathroom for a while, and after more than ten minutes, she slowly walked out of the bathroom.

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief when Song Ci's men did not find her.

Thinking of what had just happened, and Qi Yuye's instructions before she left, Nan Shu quickly took out her phone and dialed Qi Yuye's number.

Just as Qi Yuye put his phone away, Nan Shu called.

Upon seeing Nan Shu's name on the screen, Qi Yuye immediately answered the phone.

"Feed?"

Hearing Nan Shu's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Qi Yuye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you?"

Qi Yuye subconsciously pressed for an answer, his tone full of concern.

"I'm fine. I just met with Song Ci. She's really shrewd. She didn't reveal any flaws. Instead, she kept testing me."

"To make our argument seem more real, I deliberately put on an act in front of her and even made her insist on helping me deal with you."

After saying this, Nan Shu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"But it seems she didn't believe me, nor did she agree with what I said. I was originally planning to record it as evidence."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye could almost picture her expression and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

"You didn't record it, but she did and sent it to me."

Qi Yuye casually sent the recording that Song Ci had sent him to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu looked surprised as she saw the audio file sent by Qi Yuye and immediately said...

"She actually recorded it? Is she trying to sow discord among us and make us fight amongst ourselves?"

Nan Shu never expected Song Ci to be so cunning and scheming, even more terrifying than she had anticipated.

"To be more precise, she may be hoping to use you against me. This recording was just to provoke me. She knows how deeply I love you."

Qi Yuye's words made Nan Shu blush slightly. She gave a soft hum, her tone unusually coquettish.

"Her wishful thinking is going to fall through. She probably didn't expect that we were just faking an argument, and she certainly didn't expect that I would tell you about it as soon as I came out."

"She also underestimated my trust in you; I knew you wouldn't do that to me."

Qi Yuye added.

Nan Shu was deeply moved that Qi Yuye trusted her so much.

Before Nan Shu could speak, Qi Yuye spoke again.

"I'm outside, why haven't you come out yet?"

"I think I saw someone looking for me just now. I was worried it might be one of Song Ci's men, so I hid in the hotel for a while."

Hearing that Qi Yuye was outside the hotel, Nan Shu was somewhat surprised and subconsciously quickened her pace.

"Come out now, I'll send you the license plate number. Come find me, and I'll personally take you home."

Qi Yuye's arrangements were very thoughtful, but Nan Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks upon hearing Qi Yuye's words.

"I can't go to you. Song Ci will definitely send someone to keep an eye on you or me. If we are seen, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Nan Shu decisively rejected Qi Yuye. Fearing she might waver, she immediately hung up the phone and quickly left the hotel.

Qi Yuye was surprised that Nan Shu would reject him. In the moment he was stunned, Nan Shu had already come out of the hotel.

Nan Shu stood at the hotel entrance and looked around. Not seeing Qi Yuye's car, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately got into her own car.

Qi Yuye was about to call Nan Shu again when his screen lit up first.

The words "Attorney Zhou" appeared on the screen, and Qi Yuye frowned slightly.

As soon as the call was answered, Attorney Zhou's somewhat heavy voice came through.

"President Qi, the plan has changed. Chen Jingyan may be released earlier than expected."

"What happened?"

Qi Yuye was somewhat surprised to hear Attorney Zhou mention Chen Jingyan.

"Wasn't he convicted of kidnapping Um's younger brother and his sentence sealed? Why was he released early?"

Moreover, he has already told the industry that anyone who dares to defend Chen Jingyan is essentially going against Shengda Group.

Without a good lawyer to defend him, and given that he did indeed kidnap Enen and fed her an adult dose of sedatives, either of these factors could send Chen Jingyan to prison for life.

Under these circumstances, how could Chen Jingyan come out early?

Attorney Zhou sighed, his tone tinged with regret.

"The other party hired a lawyer from who-knows-where. Later, Chen Jingyan suddenly recanted his testimony, only saying that he was playing games with Enen, and that he only called Nan Shu to see her."

"Since the police did not find any other murder weapons at the crime scene or on Chen Jingyan's body, and considering the previous marital relationship between Chen Jingyan and Nan Shu, the judge determined that Chen Jingyan did not kidnap Um..."

"You mean, the other party hired a lawyer from somewhere?"

Qi Yuye quickly grasped the key point.

"That's right, we were all unaware at the time. If it weren't for that lawyer, the situation would still be under our control, but..."

Attorney Zhou didn't finish speaking, but Qi Yuye understood.

In this city, the only person who has connections and influence that surpasses him is that person.

"Song Ci, is this the condition you exchanged with them?"

Qi Yuye's tone was stern, and his expression gradually turned ugly.

"Mr. Qi, shall we continue with Chen Jingyan's case?"

"Not for now. Since she went to so much trouble to get him out, Chen Jingyan must be useful to her. Let's see what tricks she's up to."

Qi Yuye snorted coldly, gave some instructions to Attorney Zhou, and then hung up the phone.

Every step Song Ci took was meticulously planned. If he followed Song Ci's tactics, he would be led by the nose, which would be even more detrimental to his plans.

Nan Shu was also very concerned about this matter, and Qi Yuye was just about to call Nan Shu to tell her about it.

Just as Qi Yuye found Nan Shu's phone number and was about to dial it, his hand froze in mid-air.

Nan Shu has been exhausted lately because of Song Ci's matter. If she were to be told about this, she would probably have another sleepless night.

"I'll tell her later," Qi Yuye tossed his phone aside, glanced at the hotel entrance, sighed, and slowly started the car.
